After expanding its live TV streaming from iPads to
iPhones, Time Warner Cable is going in the other direction and offering the service on PCs. The PC version of TWC TV launched today in beta -- still no word on streaming to
Android devices or
HDTVs yet -- but the
Silverlight player will work on Windows and OS X, in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome. According to the official blog it has more than just streaming, with remote control over compatible set-top boxes and DVR scheduling also included. Of course, the same restrictions still apply here as they have on tablets and phones, with playback only while connected to your home network. If you're a Time Warner customer, hit the link below to sign in and try it out, or hit the blog for more details on what works where.

There is always the option of making your computer into an additional TV with the Time Warner computer app, but that’s about it. I use DISH Online, which does more than the Time Warner app. Similar to their app I can stream live TV to my computer as well as set recordings. It excels by letting me stream anything I have on my 922 SlingLoaded DVR to my computer, along with being able to stream on demand movies since I subscribe to HBO. The best thing about DISH Online is that I can stream anywhere I can get a wifi signal, whether it’s on lunch at DISH where I work or even in the library at school when I’m waiting for class. I know how excited I was when I learned about DISH Online, so I can imagine how excited people are for the Time Warner computer app, but it seems so limited since it can’t stream outside of the house.
